Trying to stop spam attempts
I am receiving 20 or 30 emails a day from an IP address in Korea.
My smtpserver logs show in part:
18/12/05 10:38:45 INFO smtpserver: Connection from 211.206.123.136
(211.206.123.136)
18/12/05 10:38:46 INFO smtpserver: Successfully spooled mail
Mail1134920326622-9 from scf113@hanmail.net for [jcopdbsvapnew@????.net]
18/12/05 10:39:48 INFO smtpserver: Connection from 211.206.123.136
(211.206.123.136)
18/12/05 10:39:49 INFO smtpserver: Successfully spooled mail
Mail1134920389747-10 from fakln1@nate.com for [xmincbixmbngj@????.net]
I changed the real domain name to ????.net to slow harvesters.
mailet logs show:
18/12/05 10:39:30 INFO James.Mailet: ToRepository: Storing mail
Mail1134920326622-9 in db://maildb/deadletter/address-error
18/12/05 10:40:35 INFO James.Mailet: ToRepository: Storing mail
Mail1134920389747-10 in db://maildb/deadletter/address-error
All which I expect. It Seems james does not relay the invalid emails
back. I suspect they would be 'returned' to an intended target of the
spam and not to the true originator.
The 'for addresses' are to email accounts which don't exists.
hanmail.net and nate.com resolve to 211.115.77.212 and 203.226.253.11
I have these ips in SenderInFakeDomain.
Is there a way to not accept any email or connections 211.206 or 203.226
(or lower addresses) ?
Thanks.. Jay

Firewall may be the way until fast-fail...

You could block them entirely in your firewall, and/or with the fast-fail
support in the current (not yet released) builds.
